New events in California and Idaho highlight expanded series!
Irvine, CA (June 15, 2011) – GEICO
has been involved with EnduroCross since it expanded into a multi race
series in 2007 and has helped pave the way for growth ever since. For
2011, the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series presented by Lucas Oil will be a
part of the X Games for the first time and then the regular series will
kick off in Everett Washington, which hosted a sellout crowd during the
first visit to the Pacific Northwest last year. In 2011, fans in
Southern California will get to witness EnduroCross at the beautiful
Citizens Business Bank Arena in September and then the off-road friendly
state of Idaho will have their first ever EnduroCross event at the
Idaho Center in Boise.
“Motorcycling
is extremely popular in California and Idaho so it is great to see
EnduroCross expand into these hotbeds of the market”, stated Eric Vaden,
Powersports Marketing Planner for GEICO. Vaden continued by saying that
“You need to see an EnduroCross in person to really appreciate the
whole experience. It’s incredibly challenging for the riders and a ton
of fun for the whole family.”
Tickets
for all six EnduroCross events are already on sale and since several
events regularly sell out, now is the time to make sure you have a seat.
